Developing optimal swing mechanics is the first part of the equation to
great power.

The golf swing is one of the most difficult, finite, and complex
athletic movements performed. As a result, it requires time spent on the
refinement of the movements involved.

Any athletic movement, the golf swing included, can be performed
efficiently or inefficiently.

An efficient golf swing allows for the highest percentage of power
generated by the golfer to be translated into the club, and delivered into
the golf ball. An inefficient golf swing decreases the amount of power
delivered to golf swing.

Efficient Golf Swing Mechanics = High Power Outputs

Inefficient Golf Swing Mechanics = Low Power Outputs

A pretty simple equation if you think about it.

Now how do you develop efficient golf swing mechanics?

Through a process of proper instruction, proper practice, and time. The
body can learn either the correct or incorrect way to swing a golf club.
In order to learn the correct way to swing a golf club, proper instruction
is required.

Secondly, the body learns through repetition. In order to learn
efficient golf swing mechanics it is necessary to practice the correct way
to swing. Finally, this process takes time.

The body will not learn how swing a golf club correctly in a day. It
takes consistent time spent on the swing.

Putting it in math terms, the equation for efficient golf swing
mechanics is:

Unfortunately, efficient golf swing mechanics is only one-half of the
equation to increasing clubhead speed, swing speed, and power.

The second half is your body.

The golf club cannot develop power on its own. It is a combination of
developing efficient golf swing mechanics and a body that can generate
power.

A Body that can Generate Power = Increased Clubhead Speed

Your body swings the club through the mechanics of the golf swing. In
order to perform this efficiently and powerfully requires the development
of certain disciplines within your body.

Generating power in the golf swing requires your body to be:

§ Flexible
§ Strong
§ Powerful

The development of these three disciplines within your body allows the
foundation to swing the golf club with more power.

If your body is inflexible, weak, and powerless, generating clubhead
speed will be very difficult, let alone performing the mechanics of the
golf swing correctly. How do you develop such a body for the golf swing?

Quite simply by implementing a golf fitness program. A golf fitness
program will develop the required flexibility, strength, and power
required of the golf swing.

Put in place a plan to develop efficient golf swing mechanics and a
powerful body. The swing speed and clubhead speed you desire can be a
reality. Remember; proper instruction, practice, time, and golf fitness
training are the keys to more power, more swing speed, and more clubhead
speed.
